Human Body Can Spontaneously Be Burned !

Is Spontaneous Human Combustion (Spontaneous Human Combustion, SHC) as a result of the terrible mystery of fire in the body, or one interpretation of what is rare, where they burn the body to cause death? Experts are still studying the mystery of who burned, and have not found any clear scientific reason.

In December 1966, Dr. J Irving Bentley,92-year-old bodies was found at his home, Pennsylvania by meter readers. Actually, only part of the foot Dr. Bentley and slippers were found. His whole body was burnt to ashes. Hole bathroom floor is the only evidence of this type of fire killed him, which is still perfect condition in the house and remain in good condition.

How a man can burn? the source of spark or flame is not completely clear and then burn without damaging any surrounding! The case of Dr. Bentley, and several hundred others like it has been labeled as "spontaneous human combustion" (SHC). Although he and other victims of the phenomenon burned almost completely, their surroundings, and even sometimes their clothes, remained almost untouched.

Can human spontaneously be burned? Many people think spontaneous human combustion were real events, but most scientists are not so sure.

what is Spontaneous Human Combustion?

Spontaneous combustion occurs when the object in the case of human spontaneous combustion, a fire burned the chemical reactions in the body without ignited by heat from outside sources.

The first known case of human spontaneous combustion comes from the Danish anatomist Thomas Bartholin in 1663, described how a woman in Paris "into ashes and smoke," as he slept. Straw mattress on which he slept was not impressed by the fire. In 1673, Frenchman named Jonas Dupont published a collection of spontaneous combustion cases in his work "De Humani Spontaneis Incendiis corporis."

Hundreds of cases of human spontaneous combustion since that time followed the same pattern: the victim almost completely burned, usually in the house. At the scene is sometimes found to smell sweet, and smoky in the room where the incident occurred.

What makes the charred bodies in the photos taken on the victims of human spontaneous combustion is strange because the skeleton is usually not damaged victims. Although the body and head singed, but the arms, legs and feet or any part thereof may not be burned. In addition, the rooms in the vicinity of the victim showed little or no signs of ignition sources, other than an oily residue that sometimes lived in the furniture and walls. In cases of a rare, internal organs are still not touch the victim while outside the body burnt.

Not all spontaneous human combustion victims simply be burnt. Some shows strange burns on their bodies that do not have a clear source, or smoke arising from their bodies when the fire is not there. Not all of every person who has been burned away. Only a small percentage of victims actually survived what has been called their spontaneous combustion.
